Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by DEFRA, involved a selective tender for the "Geospatial Change Management, Benefits Maturation, and Outline Business Case Development Service". Categorised under general management consultancy services with a CPV code of 79411000, the contract is valued at £188,085. It was awarded to Methods Business and Digital Technology Ltd. The contract work, aimed at enhancing the Geospatial Enabling Programme during its Alpha phase, began on 20th October 2025 and will conclude on 6th March 2026. Serving multiple regions including the UK, this process followed a call-off from a framework agreement within the services industry category. DEFRA, located on Marsham Street in London, functioned as the buyer.

This tender provides business growth opportunities primarily for companies specialising in management consultancy services. While the framework agreement indicates an established selection process, it favours organisations that have a history or network within the public sector frameworks. Although not specifically targeted, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) might find indirect opportunities through partnerships or subcontracting, particularly in sectors related to geospatial and change management consultancy. The scope for delivering projects across diverse geographical locations can further cater to firms with a broad operational footprint.
